摘要

摘要2020年民主党总统初选的女性候选人比以往任何一届都多，这为分析媒体对女性竞选这一独特男性职位的报道提供了一个独特的机会。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了2020年女性候选人特质覆盖的主题。使用自然语言处理（NLP）方法，我们分析了爱荷华州党团会议前民主党初选领域的印刷和在线媒体报道样本。我们发现，特质覆盖率在很大程度上强调热情和能力，并倾向于批评女性候选人表现出的热情不足。将白人女性与有色人种女性进行比较，我们发现哈里斯（Harris）而不是加巴德（Gabbard）的报道强调种族和性别识别。我们的特质分析中出现的主题表明，女性候选人在竞选总统的道路上继续面临着性别化、有时甚至种族化的媒体报道形式的障碍。

Media Coverage of Female Candidates’ Traits in the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary

ABSTRACT The 2020 Democratic presidential primary featured more female candidates than any prior race of its kind, presenting a unique opportunity to analyze media coverage of women running for this distinctively masculine office. In this article, we explore themes in trait coverage for female candidates in 2020. Using a natural language processing (NLP) approach, we analyze a sample of print and online media coverage of the Democratic primary field just prior to the Iowa Caucus. We find that trait coverage largely emphasized warmth and competence, with a tendency to criticize female candidates for displaying insufficient warmth. Comparing white women to women of color, we find coverage of Harris, but not Gabbard, emphasizes racial and gender identifiers. The themes emerging from our trait analysis suggest women candidates continue to face obstacles in the form of gendered and sometimes racialized media coverage on their paths to the presidency.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
